The wood used to make our digital-pianocabinets is imported from Indonesia. In2008, Roland designated a 100-hectarearea for tree planting, where the companyhas been planting trees for environmentalpurposes. The area contains a mixture ofprotected forest and trees designated for digital-piano-cabinet production. Thisforestation project is expected to offsetapproximately 10,000 tons of CO2 overa period of 20 years.

Tree-planting project in IndonesiaEnsuring high quality while protecting the environment:Roland is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified

At Roland, several group companies have obtained ISO9001 certification. In addition, in January 1999, Roland also received ISO14001 international environmental management system certification. We’re actively seeking ways to maintain harmony with the environment.

(ISO=International Standardization Organization: an organization for the promotion of standardization of international units andterms. They provide different categories of certification: ISO9001 Series certification is a product quality certification for products that undergo a certain level of quality control from the design stage to the after service stage; ISO14001 Series certification is for environment-related standards. Each member of the Roland Group is striving to obtain certification.) ISO9001 ISO14001

MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.

Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument — or even control a live video camera — when used with Edirol video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a powerful interface for realtime audio and video integration.

The Total-Immersion Grand-Piano Experience.Welcome to the World of V-Piano Grand.

The grand piano. No other instrument in history has embodied such beauty, elegance,

and expression, or inspired more musical creativity. Centuries old, the piano is the

cornerstone of the musical arts.

With respect and reverence for this storied tradition, Roland has relentlessly pursued

the ultimate grand-piano experience in the modern age. Today, the worlds of

acoustical purity and digital technology have been bridged. Roland proudly presents

the V-Piano Grand — a milestone achievement that captures the true essence

and expression, multi-dimensional sound, and stunning physical beauty of an

acoustic grand piano, and takes it into the future. With an elegant and contemporary design based on the exquisite form of grand piano,

the V-Piano Grand blurs the line between classical and contemporary worlds.

Welcome to a new era of performance, creativity, and musical expression!

Keyboard lid full opened to access the control panel

In the classic position, the mirror-finished keyboard lid beautifully conceals the control panel to enhance the authentic piano look

has perfectly reproduced this multi-faceted process. The V-Piano Grand emits sound

through a unique, built-in multi dimensional sound system that was developed specially

for this instrument. As a result, the pianist will hear the precise attack that is created

when the hammer strikes the string in the foreground, and the sound from the strings and

soundboard toward the back of the sound field, creating a sense of depth that is true to an

acoustic grand piano. This lets the pianist play and react naturally, and lets the audience

experience the rich tonal resonance that emanates from the piano as it fills the room.

You can choose from a library of built-in piano sounds or create an original piano sound

to suit your specific preference. This gives you the freedom and power to perform with a

virtual showroom of pianos on one stage.

The V-Piano Grand also lets you record and play back your performance, which means, in

addition to listening to the performance from the player’s position, you can experience the

performance from the audience’s perspective during playback.

Through the piano, musicians envision their dreams and create beautiful music. Above all,

the V-Piano Grand bonds the relationship between the piano and pianist — from the physical

look and touch of the instrument to the deep resonance and pure natural sound.

When a pianist presses a key on an acoustic grand piano, the hammer hits the strings that

are strung on a frame; this sound is then transmitted to the soundboard through the bridge,

causing other strings to resonate in the process, and is projected into space in the form of

rich and complex sound. Through proprietary state-of-the-art digital technology, Roland

The V-Piano Grand is a dream come true for expressive pianists.

Not only does it perfectly emulate the detailed characteristics of authentic pianos from the

past to the present, it also allows pianists to enjoy future sounds on a single instrument.

This is enabled through two modes: “Vintage,” which meticulously emulates a broad

range of masterpiece pianos, and “Vanguard,” which lets pianists create new piano sounds

based on ideas that are not constrained by the physical properties of acoustic pianos.

V-Piano Grand delivers the true and natural expression of a grand piano, as well as expanded possibilities for new, innovative sounds and performance.

The complete authentic grand piano sensory experience — the physical beauty, tonal resonance, and spatial depth of a grand piano. New possibilities for pianists.

The V-Piano Grand is elegant and beautiful, and delivers exquisite, authentic tone from its multi-dimensional sound system.

The V-Piano is transportable, and perfectly suited for band ensembles and gigging pianists.

* V-Piano shown with optional keyboard stand: KS-V8

Acoustic-piano components such as strings, hammers, soundboard, and damper have been reproduced digitally in the V-Piano. This creates “living piano sounds” that are created through a complex series of interferences between each of these piano components, resulting in incredible authenticity.

The V-Piano’s “Vanguard” model lets you explore revolutionary and unique piano sounds. Try the ultra-deep “All Triple”, for example, which models a piano with triple copper-wound strings; the brilliant “All Silver,” with triple silver-wound strings, provides shimmering tone and amazing sustain; “Triple Large” puts you in control of a massive virtual cabinet; “Metallic SB” simulates a unique metal/wood hybrid soundboard.

The V-Piano’s PHA III Ivory Feel keyboard provides maximum comfort, playability, and response. It also has an escapement mechanism, which recreates the authentic “click feel” of a grand piano, and features Roland’s acclaimed “Ivory Feel” — a comfortable and realistic moisture-absorbent material that prevents slipping.

The V-Piano is a sophisticated instrument, yet ithas been designed for ease and simplicity of operation. Tone names and parameters are clearly visible on the large display, and buttons are laid out in a simple, logical fashion.

With the V-Piano Grand, you can record your performance to play it back on the spot and store toUSB flash memory. Record your onstage performance and listen back from the audience’s perspective for evaluation, or carry your recordings with you on USB flash memory and play it back on another V-Piano.

Connect the V-Piano to your PC or Mac via USB and customize sounds with the software editor, which has a graphical interface showing hammers, strings, and other elements.

V-Piano Grand’s Progressive Damper Action pedals deliver the same pedal feel and response of acoustic grand pianos, including half-pedaling. They give slight resistance when pressed, which gets heavier the farther they’re pressed, faithfully reproducing the feeling of the damper pressing on the strings.

Create and save up to 100 of your own custom pianos by adjusting parameters such as tuning, hammer hardness, and the resonant interaction between components.With this piano model, you have instant access

to pianos ranging from classics to contemporary concert grands. Enjoy masterpiece pianos from America and Europe on this single instrument!
